Two questions: Has anybody managed to use NetBSD 1.2's "rdist" with
the Secure Shell (ssh)? I'd prefer to have rdist use ssh rather than
the ordinary rsh and rcp commands, but didn't succeed at the first
attempt.

Another thing I wonder about is why rdist is installed with setuid to
root? What does rdist need 'root' privileges for?
